DS has always been a rotten sleeper. Right now he's having a bad patch. I am pregnant and exhausted.
He's in a pattern of bed at 7ish, waking at 11ish to come into our bed, then waking between 4 and 5am and just can't settle down. He may then have another 45 minutes or so before we give up and get up between 6 and 7. This happens 3-4 times a week, the rest of the time he'll come into our bed and then stay asleep until morning. This week has been bad, and he's also wet the bed 3 times - having only had 3 previous bedwetting incidents since April.
He's hyperactive and can't concentrate or listen - definite markers of being really overtired. He looks exhausted. We have blackout blinds.
Sleep has been disrupted due to a holiday last week, his grandma staying this week and next (in his bed, so he's on a mattress at the start of the night), then he starts nursery next week for 2 hours a day. We're expecting a baby 6 weeks after he starts at nursery.
I want to try and give him a fortnight to get into nursery then start some sort of rapid return because much as we like cosleeping we can't tolerate this restlessness in the early hours. Am I expecting too much of him to slot such a big change inbetween starting nursery and a new baby arriving? I'm quite desperate.
